Killswitch Engage will headline next year's 14th annual New England Metal and Hardcore Festival in April alongside the Black Dahlia Murder.

Killswitch vocalist Howard Jones spoke of the band's anticipation to return to their roots at the festival. "Yup, trouble's brewing. It's been great to have time off, but now it¹s back to business. All the guys in Killswitch Engage are truly excited to be playing NEMHF again. It's like old times: hanging out with your friends, but they have mustaches now. Come on out, bring a friend and let's make some sweat!"

The Black Dahlia Murder frontman Trevor Strnad was similarly enthused. It has always been a huge pleasure to play New England Metal and Hardcore Fest... I can't thank them enough for involving us again. Some of my fondest drunken memories are from NEMHF... I'm looking to rack up a few more!!! Come out and bang your heads til they fall off. I'll meet you by the sausage man!"
